Struggle for Empire, the French and Indian War
Version 3, a Civ2 scenario by C.Fritz

Version 3 Design Notes
  There have been 2 previous incarnations of this scenario. What's new and
different about this version are the map, the tribes involved, the
approach taken creating the events file, and the initial setup.
  The map now goes from James Bay in the North down to Cuba in the South.
The previous versions only went down to North Carolina. Consequently, Spain
and a larger Cherokee nation are now participants.
  Previous event files were designed to bring in reinforcements on an 
historical time table. That approach has been scrapped in favor of random
reinforcements that are equally distributed among the French, English, and
Spanish. Navies must now be constructed by the Europeans rather than being
given to them by events. The responsibility for strategy now lies with the
player. 
  Because of the new setup, the Europeans generate more shields, meaning
that more units will be involved. England has been changed from a republic 
to a monarchy in order to cut down population growth and revenue. Research
is also more important in that all advances that can be discovered are useful.

DESCRIPTION:
 This is a Civilization II scenario about the Seven Years War in North 
America and part of the Carribean.
 There are two playable tribes in this scenario: Englishmen, Frenchmen. 

INSTALLATION:
This scenario requires Civilization II Fantastic Worlds (FW) or better (MGE).
If you have FW/MGE then you probably already know that these files should be
installed in a subdirectory of the SCENARIO directory. This package contains
the files for the SOUND subdirectory for use in the scenario. If you use
WINZIP, use the "use folder names" option when you EXTRACT and you'll be
done. It will create a directory named EMPIRE. Otherwise, you'll have to
create an EMPIRE directory (or whatever you want) and SOUND directory
in the EMPIRE directory and move the .wav files and the file copysnd.bat
there. 
 To help you with the new units, wonders and technologies, a pedia.txt
file has been included so that the help in the game will be correct.

SOUND DIRECTORY SETUP:
 Assuming that you have created the SOUND directory for the scenarion and
that the .wav files and COPYSND.BAT are there, you need to execute
COPYSND.BAT or the Shortcut to COPYSND.BAT from the SOUND directory
to complete the SOUND directory setup. This batch file was included
instead of the actual sounds to save space in the distribution file.

 Most of the scenario sounds are standard sounds from the game being used
in a non-standard way. They will be copied with the new name so that the
sounds are appropriate for the units. 

TROUBLESHOOTING SOUND SETUP:
 If you got the message "The CIV2\SOUND directory could not be found.",
it is probably because the CIV2 directory is not 3 levels below the
EMPIRE\SOUND directory. Make sure EMPIRE\SOUND is the current directory
when running copysnd.bat and that the EMPIRE directory is a subdirectory
of the CIV2\SCENARIO directory. If this was not the case, you may want
give it another shot.
 If you had other copy errors, there may be missing files in the 
CIV2\SOUND directory. Restore them and try copysnd.bat again if that was
the problem.
 If all of this fails, you can still do this manually. Here are the new
sounds in the SOUND directory you have to create and the source.

The title splash comes from my own photo taken at the Fort Necessity
National Battlefield. It's one of the tour guides explaining the beaver
trade.
